Catalysis of the transfer of sulfur atoms from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). Catalysis of the transfer of a sulfur-containing group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). Catalysis of the reaction: dethiobiotin + sulfur = biotin. Catalysis of a reaction in which S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) undergoes reductive cleavage to serve as a source of the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical. Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic.
